Nice and comfy hotel in a good location next to a waterfall but far away from anything else. The staff were nice and let us bring our food into the restaurant for dinner.

We booked summer house, it was very large apartment with large and comfortable living room, good equipment kitchen, two bedrooms. Apartments was clean and warm, we found everything we need. Its on the main road, near Grabrok karter. And the prices was less than in other places we booked.

Very clean and comfortable. We only stayed one night but would definitely consider it again if/when we get a chance to come back.

Next to the main road, close to the crater and waterfall, the owner is a scary and funny guy, rooms are clean, there is also a restaurant in the next building.

This was a surprise find. We ended up staying two nights. Quirky for sure, but very comfortable. The hike to the nearby volcano crater is perfect after dinner.

눉Wifi was available only at the main building where the reception and restaurant is.
There was no chance to get coffee or tea outside the working hours - at least a water boiler kettle would've been nice, so people could have something of their own while the main building is closed.

눇The place was along the Ring Road and close to Grabrok crater and other walking path, which was nice. Shower and room was ok.

Jackie and Steve

눉Accommodation was terrible, the shower filled the bathroom with water which didn't drain properly, the bed was uncomfortable and had a shelf with sharp edges directly above my head, no WiFi, no breakfast and certainly no return.

Sung

눉It was hard to find the place because there was no sign board with "graborok Hotel". Staffs were kind enough to show the room and spent quite a while to open the door which was not functioning properly.

Peter

눉The name displayed outside the hotel was different to that advertised and booked. Therefore, we drove straight past the place and took some time to locate it in this isolated place with no-one around to ask. We mentioned this to the owner who explained that he had a new sign "on order". The accommodation comprised poorly appointed rooms with paper-thin walls in an adjacent corrugated metal outbuilding. The main hotel building was locked from 10 pm to 10 am with no staff on site and when staff were around little or no effort was made to provide hospitality or service of any kind.

눇The location was convenient for our itinerary and had a pleasant walk up a volcanic crater next door.

눉This is not really a hotel, more a bunk house. The rooms are very basic. The pillows so old and the bathroom flooded when showering. The shower curtain was dirty and mould in the shower space.The reception/ restaurant didn't open until 10am so you couldn't get breakfast if you wanted to leave earlier. No one mentioned that on check in. The building is basically an old metal shed that has been renovated a bit inside. The restaurant has limited items which is understandable given the location but hot dogs are not dinner! The "farmers market" they advertise is a few grocery items but mostly crisps and lollies and some dried pasta.And again not being open early you couldn't use it anyway.There is not wifi in the rooms and with the main building not open in the morning no access to wifi in the morning. Really disappointing overall. Expectations from the description were certainly not met. If you care about comfort and cleanliness, having a usable shower etc don't stay here.
